While it doesn't give step by step instructions for a piece from beginning to end (it does state that it covers advanced techniques, so it assumes a basic knowledge), it is still a very accessible book, in my opinion - and I've not done anything beyond typical children's papier mache many years ago. I look forward to trying it out again with some different options.
The techniques & reasons for them are not presented in a complicated way, so are fairly easy to follow on one's own for most things.
The layout is pleasant on the eyes & I look forward to trying things out.

So glad I bought this book!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 16, 2020Verified Purchase
A wonderful book that presents papier mache as an incredibly versatile and viable sculpture medium, the techniques are well explained and illustrated with photographs and drawings throughout, my only slight quibble is that personally I would have preferred more photographs rather than drawings to help explain the techniques and perhaps one or two step-by-step projects to show the entire process, that slight quibble aside Monique is beyond generous with insights into her techniques and the whole book is a highly informative goldmine of possibilities of what can be accomplished with the simplest of materials and a little patience....Highly recommended!!

Excellent book full of detailed photographs along with the instructions. Certainly expanded my knowledge of how to create various shapes and pieces to utilize in creating models made of Papier-Mache. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is looking for ideas and inspiration if they are diving into the world of model making using Papier-Mache.

First Mache techniques book
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 24, 2014Verified Purchase
Really enjoying this one. As someone that hasn't used paper mache since school, i've picked it up again to build larger scale sculptures. Read a few reviews of this book from online sources and glad i went with recommendations.
If you're after a book for small scale pieces like dolls or figures this may not be the best bet, but it will still give you ideas
Certainly worth buying
